six take cake
coat butter basket
hood always off
When May was six years old, her grandma made her a red coat with a
hood. She looked so pretty in it that the children all called her
"Red Riding-Hood."
One day her mama said, "I want you to take this cake and some butter
to grandma."
Red Riding-Hood was very glad to go. She always had a good time at
grandma's.

She put the things into her little basket and ran off.

When Red Riding-Hood came to the wood, she met a big wolf.

"Where are you going?" said the wolf.
Red Riding-Hood said, "I am going to see my grandma. Mama has made
her a cake and some butter."
"Does she live far?" said the wolf.
"Yes," said Red Riding-Hood, "in the white house by the mill."
"I will go too, and we shall see who will get there first," said the
wolf.

The wolf ran off and took a short way, but Red Riding-Hood stopped to
pick some flowers.
When the wolf got to the house, he tapped on the door.
The grandma said, "Who is there?" The wolf made his voice as soft as
he could. He said, "It is little Red Riding-Hood, grandma."
